TACKLING CYBERBULLYING: A CYBER PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR’S APPROACH
Real Case: #0399 This case involves a high school student, who became the target of aggressive and threatening messages on social media from an anonymous account. As the messages escalated, her mental health and academic performance suffered. After the school’s attempts to identify the bully failed, her parents turned to OEIS’s digital private investigator for help.
Upon being hired, the investigator began by securing her digital footprint, including her social media accounts, emails, and the online platforms she used regularly. The investigator employed advanced digital forensic tools to trace the origin of the messages, focusing on IP addresses and digital timestamps. Using social media analysis tools, the investigator identified behavioral patterns and connections that linked the anonymous accounts to real-world individuals.
